Design Consultations Include:

	One-on-one interview with property owner and all decision makers to determine specific wants, needs and exact outdoor lighting expectations.
	Pictorial demonstrations of extensive lighting effects to better understand property owners personal tastes and gather design feedback.
	Hands-on interaction with sample lighting components and detailed explanations of their proposed uses.
	On-site property assessment and in most instances same day design proposal and exact cost calculation. Larger estates or landscapes under construction may require a second visit.

Design Consultations require:

• $75-$150 Flat fee (depending on travel distance required).
  Payment due at end of meeting and credited to final balance paid upon project completion.
• ALL decision makers MUST be present
• Typically require 1 to 2 hours (depending upon project size, but have no time limit)
• Scheduled during daylight hours from Monday thru Friday either late afternoon or early evening or Sunday mornings.

Note: Gambino landscape lighting inc. is a very small company focused on personal service and detailed projects. Due to this we are often booked out up to 3 months. In order to make the most of our time together it is imperative that you be prepared with specific questions and budget requirements before our meeting. Projects are scheduled on a first come first served basis. Our whole business philosophy is centered around providing a high quality lighting system as efficiently and economically as possible. I will spend as much time as required to answer all of your questions and help you arrive at a decision at our meeting. However, I do not make call backs for procrastination or indecision. Please be prepared with a cash, check or visa/mastercard deposit to reserve a place in our construction schedule if you are so inclined. Thank you.

Cost of a High Performance Low Voltage Gambino landscape lighting system :

If you want an outdoor lighting system specifically tailored to your lifestyle, home and landscape, you're going to get exactly that. A premium quality high performance landscape lighting system built to last by Gambino Landscape Lighting is going to cost you more initially than the average lighting system. But you won't be receiving anything average.

Over time your investment in a quality Gambino Landscape Lighting system will prove to be a far greater value than the average alternative. You will have a lower maintenance, more durable, energy efficient and trouble-free system that adds value and equity to your property should you ever decide to sell.

The cost of a Gambino landscape lighting installation varies considerably depending on several factors. Some of these factors are:

• Size of Project
• Soil conditions
• Location of power source/s
• Degree of difficulty of installation
• Quantity and type of hardware required
• Ease of access to the installation location

A Gambino landscape lighting system includes:

• Creative design
• Installation of 120 volt power sources as required
• Stainless steel UL® 1838 rated multiple output low voltage transformer/s
• Remote controlled digital timer/relay system
• Low voltage power cable

• Ground stake or surface mounts
• Lamps (light bulbs)
• Light fixtures built from premium non rusting materials- brass, copper and bronze

• Optional service plan
  

Maintenance required (recommended in 6 month intervals)

• Periodically prune foliage around light fixtures
• Replace bulbs as they burn out or about every two years

A typical 1,000 watt landscape lighting system operating for an average of 5 hours per evening costs about $15 per month in electricity to operate (based on a range of $.07/kWh - $.10/kWh. The national average is $0.7/kWh.)
